I have recently watched Senna, a deeply moving, eye-opening film. These words from Senna will remain with me for a very long time:

There is a great desire in me on improving, getting better. That makes me happy. And every time I feel I am slowing down my learning process, my learning curve is getting flatter or whatever, then it doesn’t make me very happy. And that applies not only as the profession, as a racing driver, but also as a man.

Of course, I shall have a lot more to learn as a man than as a racing driver, because my career could last not many years, my life hopefully will go on for a long time.

There is a lot to go, a lot to learn, a lot to do in life. Happiness will come when I feel complete as a whole, which definitely I don’t feel today. But I have plenty of time to fulfill that too.

World War II in Photos: A Retrospective in 20 Parts

World War II in Photos: A Retrospective in 20 Parts:

Alan Taylor is running a 20 part series of photos looking at the events, people and effects of World War II.

This series of entries will last from June 19 until October 30, 2011, running every Sunday morning for 20 weeks. In these photo essays, I hope to explore the events of the war, the people involved at the front and back home, and the effects the war had on everyday lives. The entries will follow a roughly chronological sequence, with some broader themes (such as “The Home Front”) interspersed throughout. These images will give us glimpses into the real-life experiences of our parents, grandparents and great grandparents, moments that shaped the world as it is today. I hope to be able to do justice to this important story in this large-photo narrative format and invite you to join me for the next 20 Sundays.

Josh Owens recently spent a little over a month hotel hopping in Manhattan shooting time lapse. The end result is simply glorious, and the soundtrack is a perfect accompaniment.

"Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him."
